Parallel Editing

Parallel Editing is where you cut backwards from the entire action from only one sequence to the action ostensibly. An ostensibly unrelated scene in order to fully abstract and imply relationship between the two. At the start it cuts to the first person and that may be brushing their teeth and then the the camera cuts to the second person, also brushing their teeth. So this implies the two people doing the same thing at the same time. Eventually when it cuts from each of them doing the same, or similar things at the same time, at the end they meet and then that is the end of the sequence.
